Other truck!

[SamIam]

So I go out do my first job $212 for some
Tile and 1 room and some synthetic rugs.

My other truck was a little late because my helper read 830 sharp, and didn't read be here at 815 pick up your helper at 825.

No biggie, I finished up and needed to email they're reciept to a realtor who gives me a ton of work.

I get there and I see they're trying to duel wand a two story house.

I walk in on the lower paid helper Kian.

He's trying to get the waterline on the wand and it won't go it's a brass issue.

He has the vacuum hose laying on the ground and Phil is upstairs cleaning!

Phils is using a 12 flow Pc Ti Kian was using a 10 flow mach15.

I yelled at Kian plug that vac hose, ran up upstairs and had Phil re dry stoke the area he was cleaning.

Then I took they're wands and gave them my Devastator 8 flow, and sapphire 14 Ti 6 flow.

I think I averted disaster!

The thing is I'm pretty sure I've explained to Phil the wands on his truck and flow can't be used to duel wand.

They were just trying to knock it out so they wouldn't be late to they're next job.

The machine was sitting at 220 with 13 hg when I left.


Oh then I got scunge tile over mopped with nasty build up.

 

[SamIam]

Funny thing is I was by myself no helper
And was off 2 hours earlier and out grossed those two by $20.

Old dudes rule!

But I'm sore and I have a big day tomorrow to.

 

[Russ T.]

I ran my Chem Tex Panther 20 while my brother and his helper used my far nicer Cleanco, during college turnover a couple years ago.

I smoked them pretty bad. I could get 15 apartments done by myself, using the Panther and a 12" wand.

There's something special that happens to a fella and his efficiency once he commits to and works this craft.

Well played Sam!

 

[Mikey P]

you posted this whole thing just to piss off Bristor, fess up.

 

[SamIam]

Never crossed my mind?

Do you think he cares???

He does lurk!

 

[Mikey P]

sure he does.

hear anything in the bushes outside?

Duel wanding on a house is nuts imo. You have 2 guys, you should knock that out in no time. Prespray, scrub, wand with the other guy pulling hose, 2000 sqft per hour. No empty hands. Hardest thing for an owner/operator is to watch employees take twice the time to accomplish what he can do in half the time.

 

[hogjowl]

Not once did any of y'all mention anything about vacuuming

 

[Nomad74]

I vacuumed the floor of my box truck this morning.

 

[hogjowl]

I've seen how you wand

 

[Nomad74]

I've seen how you wand

And yet you learned nothing

 

[SamIam]

It was vacuumed and CRB'ed and pre sprayed when I got there.

Also had both lines setup ready to go.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I shake my head when someone claims to dual wand every residential job.

What else are they lying about?

 

[Old Coastie]

The size and length of their hoses?

 

[ronbeatty]

I do not dual wand them all, but probably 4 or 5 a week.

 

[ronbeatty]

Last Friday night I had 250ft on one hose run and 400ft on the other.

 

[SamIam]

sure he does.

hear anything in the bushes outside?

Nothing my two dogs can't handle

 

[SamIam]

The size and length of their hoses?

125 feet and a 100 feet

 

[Able 1]

When we are busy like we are now we run two vans at the bigger jobs($250 and over).. We split up and join back together as needed. Sweet spot is 3 guys, two vans, as far as production on these jobs..

 

[hogjowl]

The sweet spot for me is Brady in one job and me on another.

I give him the two story houses.

 

[Able 1]

Don't give me that shit.. The sweet spot is Brady is cleaning while you are napping!!

 

[Able 1]

Though, I do have more energy working by myself when I have another truck out there making money!!

 

[hogjowl]

It's hard to nap when he's out alone in a $60,000 rig and cleaning for a 30 year customer

 

[Able 1]

So, you never team up on even the biggest of trailers?

 

[hogjowl]

Yeah, we do.
We dualed a commercial job last night an another one this morning. During the times of year when we only have 3 jobs a day we will do them together, but the gravy comes when we both have a full day for each of us.

Pussy.

Try sending non relatives in a $110k truck to clean a 200 million estate..

 

[Cleanworks]

Yeah, we do.

Must have been a double wide.

 

[Able 1]

If we have furniture to clean, and a whole house, that is a two van job..

Had one last week, I cleaned a sectional while my guy cleaned the basement.. I then cleaned the Fr and den while he went to the 4 Br's upstairs.. $560 in two hours.. It was only him and I, so dealing with the hoses sucked!! Third guy would have come in handy, and actually saved me money..

Sounds like a job I dueled with my pro1200 se.

I did a bunch of upholstery while Kian cleaned the upstairs and stairs.

I used a sapphire tool and he used the Devastator. Ran the machine on high.

$560 in a little over 2 hours.

My other truck was humping out 5 jobs and was going to help.

But I only needed 50 feet of hose for the upholstery and a 100 for the carpet.

So I sent them on they're way.

Like Marty says 2 trucks two routes those days make your week.
